HEBRON, Sunday, May 19, 2024 (WAFA) – This afternoon, a group of extremist Israeli colonists attacked two aid trucks loaded with essential food supplies at the Tarqumiya crossing, located northwest of Hebron. The trucks were en route to the Gaza Strip to deliver much-needed assistance to Palestinians suffering from the ongoing Israeli aggression.

Palestinian sources informed WAFA that the colonists vandalized a significant portion of the cargo, scattering the food supplies on the ground in an attempt to prevent the aid from reaching its destination.

This marks the eighth instance in which aid trucks and their drivers have been assaulted by mobs of Israeli colonists at the Tarqumiya crossing, with such attacks occurring under the protection of the Israeli military.

The recurrent attacks on humanitarian aid convoys exacerbate the already dire situation in Gaza, where the ongoing Israeli military offensive has led to severe shortages of food, medical supplies, and other essential goods.
